DEFINITION of 'Morris Plan Bank'
A type of bank first established in 1910 to lend money to individuals who couldn't obtain loans from mainstream banks. Fidelity Savings & Trust Co. was the first Morris Plan bank. By 1931, there were 109 Morris Plan banks; however, that number declined after the economy recovered from the Great Depression and commercial banks began offering similar loans.
BREAKING DOWN 'Morris Plan Bank'
Named after the Morris Plan's founder, Virgina lawyer Arthur Morris, Morris Plan banks had a unique lending strategy. They did not require collateral for loans, but instead considered the character and community standing of applicants by requiring two endorsers. All three were required to fill out an application covering character, financial history, employment and wages. If the loan was granted, the borrower ended up paying a relatively high rate of interest.

From Our Editors
Traditionalists beware—The Haunt at Rocky Ledge is no mere haunted house. The frights start in the middle of the woods as guests find themselves navigating the Forest of Lost Souls under direction from a ghastly tour ghoul. If they're lucky enough to make it past the terrifying trees, wanderers will soon find themselves lost in the twisting paths of the Field of Screams corn maze, searching desperately for a finish line that merely waits to usher them to another frightful fate in the Haunted Barn. Patrons who manage to survive long enough to make it to the haunt's end and the final Last Rites attraction can rally their spirits and replenish their strength at the snack bar or head home to hide under the covers.

Shell says it will cease Alaska offshore Arctic drilling
Royal Dutch Shell said it will cease exploration in Arctic waters off Alaska's coast following disappointing results from an exploratory well backed by billions in investment and years of work.
Shell will end exploration off Alaska "for the foreseeable future," the company said, because of the well results and because of the "challenging and unpredictable federal regulatory environment in offshore Alaska."
Giant Viruses Are Hiding in Permafrost, But Not for Long
If you're a germophobe, you won't find comfort even in bleak Siberian expanses. Scientists have made another massive discovery of ancient (and giant) viruses hidden dormant in the permafrost. As the planet warms, finding these things—and waking them—is going to become more commonplace.
That's significant, especially when you understand the gravity of the findings for experts involved in the ongoing research.
Drinking water systems imperiled by failing infrastructure
Deep inside a 70-year-old water-treatment plant, drinking water for Iowa's capital city is cleansed of harmful nitrates that come from the state's famously rich farmland.
Without Des Moines Water Works, the central Iowa region of 500,000 people that it serves wouldn't have a thriving economy. But after decades of ceaseless service, the utility is confronting an array of problems: Water mains are cracking open hundreds of times every year. Rivers that provide its source water are increasingly polluted. And the city doesn't know how it will afford a $150 million treatment plant at a time when revenues are down and maintenance costs are up.
Did Flint, Michigan, Just Lead Poison Its Children? Doctors Think So.
According to researchers in Flint, Michigan, blood tests have revealed a distressing conclusion—the tap water residents are drinking is causing elevated lead levels in the city's children.
A new study headed by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, a researcher and director of the pediatric residency program at Hurley Medical Center, compared blood tests taken over a span of months in 2013 with samples taken over a similar span this year. During the time between, the city of Flint changed the source of its drinking water from Lake Huron to treated water from the Flint River.
Pope beseeches world leaders to protect the environment
Pope Francis declared Friday that there is a "right of the environment" and that mankind has no authority to abuse it, telling more than 100 world leaders and diplomats at the United Nations that urgent action is needed to halt the destruction of God's creation.
Hoping to spur concrete commitments at upcoming climate change negotiations in Paris, Francis accused the world's powerful countries of indulging a "selfish and boundless thirst" for money by ravaging the planet's natural resources and impoverishing the weak and disadvantaged in the process.
BMW stock tumbles after report of high emissions
A sudden wave of scrutiny over emissions threatened to engulf BMW after a German magazine reported Thursday that one of the luxury automaker's diesel vehicles emitted 11 times the amount of nitrogen oxides acceptable in Europe.
The German automaker's shares tumbled 7% as of 8:24 a.m. ET following Auto Bild magazine's report that the International Council on Clean Transportation had discovered curiously high emissions on the BMW X3 crossover vehicle.

When President Obama nominated former Raytheon lobbyist William J. Lynn III as deputy defense secretary early in his administration, critics railed that the move clashed with Mr. Obama's campaign pledge to close the revolving door between government and the defense industry.
Now that Mr. Lynn is leaving, Mr. Obama wants to promote the Pentagon's top weapons buyer, Ashton Carter, to the job. But ethics forms show that despite his reputation as an academic, Mr. Carter earned significant income in recent years from the defense industry while teaching at Harvard University.
The White House announcement of Mr. Carter's nomination this week hailed his years at Harvard, but made no mention of the consulting work he did while employed as a professor at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
While teaching at Harvard, he earned $238,235 from Jan. 1, 2008, through March 18, 2009, when he signed a financial disclosure form just prior to joining the Pentagon as undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics.
Over the same period, Mr. Carter received $65,000 from the Mitre Corp., which manages federally funded research and development centers, where he was a trustee, and more than $100,000 from Global Technology Partners, a defense consulting firm founded by William J. Perry, who served as defense secretary from 1994 to 1997.
Mr. Carter reported earning $20,000 in consulting fees from Goldman Sachs, and he received $10,000 from Raytheon for what was described on Mr. Carter's ethics form as "meeting fee and memoranda."
Mr. Carter is one of more than 30 officials in various federal agencies and at the White House who have been given waivers from Mr. Obama's ethics rules. In Mr. Carter's case, the waiver was issued after his 2009 appointment to the Pentagon, and concerned consulting work he did for defense contractor Textron. According to the waiver, he "provided specific business advice" on a weapons system called the Sensor Fused Weapon. The last year of Defense funding for the weapon system was in fiscal 2007.
Ethics forms also show Mr. Carter gave strategic advice to Textron on the company's headquarters, "trends in military technology and strategy, and how and where military platforms and weapons systems could be deployed effectively in the Defense Department's theaters of operation."
Mr. Carter reported on his financial disclosure report, through his position at Global Technology Partners, that he consulted for Textron and other clients of Global Partners, including McKinsey & Co. and Constellation Energy & Gas.
His other sources of income while at Harvard included a $10,000 essay fee from the Center for a New American Security and a $2,000 speaking fee from the Analysis Group.
Under Mr. Obama's ethics rules, appointees are barred for two years from "participating in any particular matter involving specific parties that is directly or substantially related" to former employers and clients.
The Pentagon referred questions about Mr. Carter's consulting work to the White House, which said he will have to recuse himself from matters involving Harvard but no other former clients.
"Under the Obama ethics pledge, if confirmed to be deputy secretary of defense, Dr. Carter will be recused for a period of two years from matters that are directly and substantially related to his former employer, Harvard University," White House spokeswoman Tanya Bradsher said.
"This recusal is required because he resigned from his tenured position at Harvard University in April 2011," she said. "At this time, the Department of Defense does not anticipate that he will need a waiver of any provision of the Obama ethics pledge to serve as the deputy secretary of defense."
Harvard officials declined to comment on Mr. Carter's consulting work while he taught at the university.
Harvard spokesman Doug Gavel said the university has "fairly strict conflict of interest rules." He said school policy dictates that the university does not comment on specific faculty members.
It's unclear who will replace Mr. Carter as the Pentagon's top weapons buyer, but one possibility is Frank Kendall III, who has served under Mr. Carter as the deputy undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics.
Before joining the Pentagon, Mr. Kendall consulted for defense contractor SAIC Inc. and Centra Technology.
However, Mr. Kendall declined to list the identities of six other private-sector clients, The Washington Times reported in 2009.
Federal ethics rules allow nominees to keep the names of former clients a secret in limited circumstances, such as when there was a confidentiality agreement or in matters involving grand jury testimony.
In 2009, the White House stood by Mr. Kendall's decision not to disclose his past clients, stating in an email that he was "committed to adhering to the highest standards of ethical conduct."

Nacogdoches Wins Shootout over Corsicana
Matt Stepp
Talk about it in The Main Board
CORSICANA - The Nacogdoches Dragons (6-1, 2-0) continued their Cinderella run in 2013 with a hard fought and exciting 48-41 win over the Corsicana Tigers (1-5, 0-2) in a 16-4A contest at Tiger Stadium. Junior quarterback Bryce Matthews who is filling for injured NHS starter Hunter McClellan had a monster night accounting for seven total touchdowns, three through the air and four on the ground to lead the Nacogdoches attack which accounted for 446 total yards. Not to be outdone, Corsicana quarterback Devontay Bell led the Tigers attack with 356 yards of offense and two scores.
The Dragons jumped out to a quick 21-0 lead as after going three and out on their first drive, NHS recovered a fumble on the Corsicana punt return to set up the first score making it 7-0. Two straight three and outs by Corsicana set up two more scores and at the end of the first quarter Nacogdoches had the game in control at 21-0.
Corsicana would rally in the second quarter on the legs of Bell and running back Donovan Fields (106 yards rushing and four touchdowns) as the Tigers scored 21 straight points to tie the game at 21. Right before halftime Nacogdoches would take the lead back as Matthews would score with just eight seconds left in the half on a one yard run to put Nacogdoches up 27-21 at the half.
The Dragons would get a stop to open the second half on Corsicana and appeared to be ready to break the game open as Matthews broke loose for a 53 yard scoring jaunt to make it 34-21. Corsicana would start a back and forth battle scoring on a 12 yard run by Fields cutting the Nacogdoches lead to 34-27. Matthews would score on a ten yard run on the ensuing drive to extend the lead to 41-27, but Corsicana would rattle off consecutive scores as Bell and Fields would score to tie the game at 41 all with 8:24 remaining.
This would set the stage for a huge drive from Nacogdoches as facing a 3rd and 18 in their own territory, there was no way NHS would want to give the ball back to Corsicana who had all the momentum. Matthews would bail out his offense hooking up with Tae Thomas for a 25 yard gain on the third and long setting up Nacogdoches in CHS territory. A few plays later the combo of Matthews and Thomas would get back together for a ten yard scoring pass to put Nacogdoches up for good 48-41 with little more than five minutes left. Corsicana would have two more chances to tie the game back up but the NHS defense held firm and kept the Corsicana offense from getting the equalizing score.

While many U.S. retailers are still weighing whether to grow internationally, e-commerce businesses outside of the U.S. aren't necessarily waiting around.
While many U.S. retailers are still weighing whether to grow internationally, e-commerce businesses outside of the U.S. aren't necessarily waiting around. Quickly sprouting around international consumers are online stores from large brand name consumer goods makers to smaller e-commerce sites. And it may have taken about 10 years for flash-sale sites to develop in the U.S., but businesses have hopped on board that model elsewhere.
Take Turkey. A country with a population of about 77 million people, it had the seventh-largest online population in Europe numbering 17.8 million in April 2009, according to comScore. In that same month, Internet users in Turkey spent the most time online, 32 hours per visitor, and consumed the most pages, 3,044, than any European country. This past May, comScore measured Turkey's Internet audience at 22 million, up by 25% from about a year ago.
In May, one of the top 20 most-visited retail sites in Turkey was flash-sale site TrendYol.com, which translates as trend road in English. TrendYol's sophisticated-looking home page features a gold-colored Vespa parked in front of a boutique in black and white. The site attracted 623,000 monthly unique visitors and about one million monthly visits in May, according to comScore. Sales scheduled on TrendYol for the week include both international brands, such as American Eagle, as well as products from Turkish manufacturers such as a shoe maker NR.39.
I had a conversation about international online retailing this past week with Tyler Smith, president of Niche Retail LLC, an e-retailer which has branched out to offer e-commerce services such as order management, search engine marketing, customer service and inventory management to consumer goods makers. Smith made an important point that e-retailers need to approach each country differently, accommodating the different customer expectations of each region. In Italy, consumers use credit cards less frequently than elsewhere in Europe and expect to pay for goods on delivery, he noted. In England, retailers face higher return rates and higher logistics expenses. As Smith pointed out, retailers looking at international sales can't just put up a translated site that accepts the local currency and expect to succeed.
In addition, retailers need to not only understand consumer expectations and practices but understand businesses that are already operating in other markets. But with some research, it can pay off, as international Internet users numbers grow and are primed for the convenience and benefits of online shopping.
Here are five areas every online retailer should address now to be prepared for the ...

Who's next for wedding bells?
Some actors and actresses just have the chemistry. They simply emanate desirability and persuade the audience that their love is true, even though we all know it's a television show. After shooting all those awkward romance scenes while pretending to be a married couple, we wouldn't blame them if they start dating. And, if they can make their marriage work on-screen, they can surely do it in real life too. We take a look at some of these couples who we think should definitely tie the knots'

A Bone to Pick
Time for a little rant.
In this era of internet fast - rapid dissemination of information, we've expected our hard-hitting beat reporters to keep asking the tough questions. Yesterday, the reporting on Reed Johnson's foot injury disappointed me. The news was lightning fast. I got a twitter text message from David Kaplan regarding Johnson's X-Rays showing a fracture in his foot. Then before blinking an eye there were links to articles from all of the major beat writers...Tribune's Paul Sullivan, Gordon Wittenmeyer/Sun-Times and Bruce Miles/Herald.
Unfortunately they forgot to ask a followup question. Something like...could you tell us what bone is broken? C'mon guys, this is no longer the era of "the toe bone is connected to the foot bone". In these times when medical information is being questioned for more
specific information, you would think they could ask what bone was
broken. It leads to less unnecessary speculation (or at least more
specific speculation). I had hoped they learned this lesson. I recall when Gordon Wittenmeyer got his dander up, when the news on Rich Harden's MRI showed a small rotator cuff tear but they didn't get that information after the test in October but only found out that information in January at the Cubs convention. I was proud of GW back then for raising a fuss.
Although it might not make much difference in estimating the time to recover (they all reported up front it would be 4 weeks, meaning he's out until September), it really bugs me that the baseball reporters didn't ask what bone was broken in Reed Johnson's foot. Group think often leads to complacency. They just might be missing something important here. After reading all 3 biggies (Sullivan, Wittenmeyer and Miles), none of them wrote anything more than this:
Sullivan: "Johnson continued to play and flied out in the second inning. He was removed in the top of the fourth and sent to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for X-rays, which revealed a non-displaced fracture on the top of the foot."
Wittenmeyer: "The platoon lead-off man suffered a non-displaced fracture when he fouled a pitch off his foot in the first inning Wednesday. He later singled and scored the first run and batted once more before leaving as the pain got worse."
Miles: "The Cubs originally announced Johnson had a bruise, but X-rays revealed a non-displaced fracture..."
There are 11 bones in the foot not counting toes (phalanges). If it's a metatarsal fracture (there are 5 metatarsals) it probably doesn't make much difference in terms of time to heal but if he broke a bone called the navicular it could be longer than 4 weeks...much longer. Dempster broke a phalanx (big toe) and it took 2 weeks so I assume it's not that...they would have said he broke a toe, not his foot if that were the case.
A navicular fracture was what Frank Thomas as well as Michael Jordan had early in his career and currently has led to big problems with Yao Ming.
I found this link with some info on why Navicular fractures are different but it does mention one thing in common with what they said about Reed Johnson's injury...it's located at the top of the foot:
As early as 2002, the American Academy of Family Physicians reported a rise in tarsal navicular bone fractures in active people. It is most common in athletes who indulge in running sports, and is very difficult to spot, which causes further complications as the condition worsens. The bone is located at the top of the foot.
The first symptom is usually pain in the midfoot area, gradually spreading throughout the rest of the foot. Regular x-rays don't usually pick up the damage right away, so doctors are often led in another direction in trying to diagnose the source of the trouble. Slight injuries are often treated with six to eight weeks of immobilization in a cast. Worse cases like Yao's often necessitate surgery.
Navicular fractures can be difficult to diagnose and often don't show up on initial X-Rays because they can happen initially as a stress fracture. That's a subtle hairline crack that is like a crack in a car winshield. It can extend or propagate if it gets continued activity and RJ did play after he was hit in the foot during the 1st inning at bat, in fact he singled and subsequently scored on DLee's sac fly...then continued in the outfield for another inning and even batted again until he couldn't handle the pain.
I'm not saying RJ's got a navicular fracture.
We don't know what bone is injured when they say a fracture in the foot even if they have said the X-Ray's showed a non-displaced fracture. So I'm just sayin' that reporting a non-displaced fracture in the foot isn't enough these days. Especially when it's two day's before the trade deadline and any DL stint longer than 4 weeks could be a significant issue.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Only possible more charitable explanations that I can think of for their omission is that the Cubs sent them the news in some form of press release, where there wasn't an actual human being available to whom they could quickly direct follow-up questions.
If that is the case, then I would hope that either A. one of them would note it in their reporting, or B. within the next few hours, as someone from the Cubs becomes available, it will be the first question asked.
If it winds up being B, then I am going to give you all credit as being the impetus. If neither of those things happen, then yeah, it's another case of "reporters" really being little more than dictation machines. Someone pay me to transcribe the Cubs press releases! I cn transricbe goood!
Re: A Bone to Pick
I think what we're failing to take into consideration here is that 99.9% of Cub fans probably don't care what bone in the foot is broken as long as they know he's only out 4 weeks.
I think the assumption is that if the Cubs said he would be out 4 weeks and there's a non-displaced fracture in the top of his foot, it means it's not a navicular fracture.
OTOH, if the "4 weeks" figure is just conjecture on the part of the beat writers based on a typical timetable for a standard foot injury, my assumption goes out the window.
Also, don't get me wrong, I love reading Dr. Hecht's analysis, and it always helps when he has more details with which to work, but the time for these "journalists" to do some sleuthing was when KW and Prior kept getting injured and no one knew what was going on.
Re: A Bone to Pick
where there wasn't an actual human being available to whom they could quickly direct follow-up questions
if it was a press release...then I would have expected Bruce Levine to don his cape and fly to the information highway's rescue. Plus David Kaplan has contacts with all the medical staff at Northwestern. I think he could have gotten that question asked and answered for a freebie Lou Malnotti's pizza.
...getting off the soap box to watch today's game.
Re: A Bone to Pick
It's a very, very good soapbox on which to stand.
Re: A Bone to Pick
even Len/Bob in the TV pregame say: non-displaced fracture in RJ's left foot.
and although Stevens is at the ballpark today, they expect Sam Fuld to be with the club in Florida.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Don't you have to be down for 5 days or something once you get sent to AAA?
Re: A Bone to Pick
I think it's 15 days unless you replace someone who goes to the DL.
Re: A Bone to Pick

Miles weighs in on Fuld being called to the team for the Florida series
also says Soto may be ready for possibly the Cincy series or more likely Colorado series.
Re: A Bone to Pick
now it comes out...

Re: A Bone to Pick
Wittenmeyer also got a crucial fact wrong. Johnson broke his foot AFTER he singled and scored in the 1st, not before. The foul ball off his foot came in his 2nd at bat.
Re: A Bone to Pick
I was thinking the same thing.
Re: A Bone to Pick

Less chance of Fontenot (than Blanco) landing Big Z on the DL for ritual piggy-back rides?

I <3 Fontenot.
Re: A Bone to Pick
I'm sure the 4 week estimate came from the medical staff, probably the orthopedic surgeon (Dr. Gryzlo) and not the writers.
...still it's like when ARam had his dislocation or Dempster broke his big toe...the recovery estimates were all over the map and it takes time to see how things are progressing. Having more info just helps analyze these injuries. Hence a rant not an inquistion.
Some injuries have a trickier track record, but still can heal quickly if all goes well. Another one has a the nickname called a Jones fracture...which is a fracture (often starting as a stress fracture as well) at the base of the 5th metatarsal but closer to the bones proximal shaft and has a very different healing timeframe than an avulsion type fracture at the base of the 5th MT (which is much more common).

How the hell do you let Kaz "Anal Fissure" Matsui homer off you?
Re: A Bone to Pick
Fox, Bradley... back to back!
Re: A Bone to Pick
When Bradley and Sori are hitting, with Lee and Fox before them, that is quite a murderous lineup.... Too bad Lou doesn't seem to trust Fox with catching...
Re: A Bone to Pick
With a healthy roster I like Fox on the bench. He can be what Olmedo Seanez was to the Dodgers a few years ago: A bench bat with some thunder.

Another day of whoop-ass! I love it!
Re: A Bone to Pick
Heyman tweets that Cubs are close to Grabow and could add another pitcher...
Re: A Bone to Pick
cost should be interesting...if the cubs can get him for scraps that'd be impressive, but a fox/marshall/hoff could be in their future.
grabe's worth more than his numbers show.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Can't imagine the cubs would give up marshall, it would seem to defeat the purpose of making the trade. My guess is that they offer/ed a couple of A level or below arms that have potential and hope that it gets done. That seems to be hendry's m.o. when trading for spare parts.
Re: A Bone to Pick
problem is grabow is more than spare parts to PIT...and a lotta teams
i hate his control issues and he's got starter stuff, but he can't quit working deep counts and walking people.
behind those "meh" numbers are a 93-95mph fastball, a deadly changeup that actually works on righties, and a slider. lot of people would love to kick the tires on the guy...esp. since he stays healthy, too.
Re: A Bone to Pick
think I worded that incorrectly. Grabow is a solid setup guy, but Hendry hasn't typically given up a lot for guys like him in the past. Not that Hoff or Fox should be untouchable, but I guess I don't see them going in a deal. I guess we'll see.
Re: A Bone to Pick
heard that...i don't have an inside track on the trade or rumors or names, but i know grabow was highly sought after this offseason and his stuff is something people would love to kick the tires on.
he's got starter stuff, but he can't consistently put it together...even batter to batter.
just looking at his #s it should seem that he'd be cheap, but behind those numbers are some tools that are worth a lot of he even finds a shred more control over it.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Hmmm... he sounds like someone Dave Duncan would turn into a staff ace....
Re: A Bone to Pick
Grabow, Gorzelanny being talked about...
(thnx to Paul Noce for the links from parachat)
Re: A Bone to Pick
Grabow and Gorzelanny suggests that the Cubs may need more depth at starting pitcher. Wonder if Lilly is to be out longer than first suggested?
espn: Cubs finalizing deal for Grabow

I know, man. What a season. 3rd best record in all of baseball, good enough to have won any division other than the one there in.
With a win tomorrow, the Cubs will match their 2008 record. Bad omen, I know. If they do win, the most recent year in which the Cubs will have won more games would be 1945 (98-56), the last time they went to the World Series.
I'll take that omen instead...
"oh yeah, and get the fuck off my lawn. :D"
Ok, now that was funny. :)
KB 0-5 with 8 LOB. Really? He is torturing me with 99 RBI. He is also a very different hitter at home vs. road. I suspect most young hitters are.
Greinke still in for the 8th. 3 up, 3 down. After 8. 108 pitches, ERA still at 1.66 according to mlb boxscore and he's in line for a 19th win.
Greinke 95 pitches through 7. Gives up one run (solo HR to Hedges). ERA at 1.66. Doubt that they will let him give up 5 runs in the 8th.
Dodgers ahead 2-1.
96 wins with one game to go. Who woulda thunk it.
Cubs 96 wins have clinched a better record than any AL team and the NL West/East division winners too.
cubs win, pirates lose...
the curse is now yours.
cog a HR away from the cycle after a single in the 6th.
Hendricks: 15 up, 15 down.
he strongly separates his post-playing career from his playing career, though he loves to visit the barrier of player and fan. many ex-players don't put up this barrier.
he's not interested in going back to the clubhouse or pretty much anything field/game related, but he'll grab a ticket and observe with the fans and visit ex players on "neutral" ground. he's written 3 pieces for the new yorker and other pieces elsewhere. i remember one photo/bio piece he did, but don't remember where i read it (years ago).
I find your comments rather obtuse. He recognized he didn't want to pursue baseball anymore and went back to school to learn how to become a better writer - opening up a new chapter in his life.
I don't know where you find a "sad disconnection" because he is writing about his experiences? He pursued a ball career for a long time so no doubt there is some meloncholy in his tone, but I just don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
he has an almost sad disconnection from the game based on his writings. even though he's "been there" (no matter how much of a minor role) he doesn't seem to feel like he belongs or deserves to belong in the boy's club.
he seems to go to great lengths to enjoy the game from an arm's length while occasionally getting close enough for a high-5 from those who affirm him that he belongs.
I read that guy's article about why he quit baseball and it was really well done too. In terms of Rizzo, I have seen multiple references to how this is Rizzo's team just as much as Madden's and it makes that pick up that much better that we have someone that is not only a great player but a leader and all around great guy (been reading about all the charity work he does too). There is really nothing not to like about Rizzo.
Nice article on Rizzo

ChromaGun was our entry to Ludum Dare #32. The concept's inception came late at night after a few (ahem) beers. The theme was "an unconventional weapon", and we decided to go with color. The player's objective is to paint walls and enemies with the "ChromaGun". Enemies are attracted to walls of the same color and float towards them. This core mechanic, paired with elements such as button-triggered doors, deadly electrified tiles and particle grids which only allow bullets to pass through, created some seriously entertaining gameplay, even in the early stages of development.

Trappy Tomb MMO released free for iOS
Hey LD friends! Our LD30 (Theme: Connected Worlds) Jam entry (14th, Jam) is now available as a full release on the App Store!
Trappy Tomb FREE on the App Store
It's been a long road to get here, and it's all thanks to you fine people! Any feedback for the full version would be hugely appreciated, we've had so much fun making this game
Yes it really is an MMO game, you play alongside the ghosts of other players and leave each other messages – here's the trailer
Made using Cocos2D, with Kamcord social sharing for laughs.
See you in August!
– jimmypaulin
Roboticon: An Evolution
For LD27, I created a robotic face-matching game, and I have since rebuilt that prototype into a new game with more modes, more polish, and more fun called Roboticon.
It is free for iOS and Android. It gets really fun to play with friends when you get to the upper levels. Oh, and I also added cats (an optional IAP)! Please check it out.
9 Months aftermath! LD #30
Hello there my fellow indie developers, today I want to announce that the game I've been working on for the past months has been released. This project started back in "Ludum Dare 30" (Connected Worlds). We saw potential on it so we decided to focus and develop a good game on that topic. Our entry BERTA was the starter point, then it went through many changes and almost 9 months later we finally finished!
(It's not Berta but it is a ball).
This game is about a Spunky little ball that has the ability to switch between colors in order to interact with the environment of the level. Everything that matches the ball's color becomes solid, therefore you have to choose wisely what color to use. For example, you'll want to be the same color as the coins but not the same as the spikes! Or maybe you need that a certain platform matches your color in order to roll over it without falling.
So be prepared for a fun and innovative gameplay on your device… Also prepare to die a countless amount of times…
I hope you enjoy this game as much as I did when I created it! Also don't forget to leave a review on the Store page if you actually had a great time playing it.

Slider (iOS&Android)
Yeah, ok, Slider was not created for any Ludum Dare, but it certainly contains lots of things I've learned creating games for this event (also creating junk that I never posted. Which is precisely why I love Ludum Dare – it's the perfect bootcamp to try new ideas, mechanics or aesthetics.
The game is simple: keep the grid clear by drawing paths that send your ship towards enemies, scoring up when you slide through them. So it's back to basics: beat your record, stay alive! But not that easy.
Here's the launch trailer:
We (we as in the small group I belong to) have just released the game, but we are already considering a few improvements. New board configurations, new enemies, new powerups and game modes. All that given we get a good feedback from players, that is! Otherwise we'll move on and begin working on a different idea.
So we would love reading your opinion! The game is free (with ads, or paid, without ads) for iOS and Android. Would you try it and write us back?
Stargazing – Now a real game!
Well, I managed to miss the October Challenge completely, but I kept working away on the further development to my MiniLD #37 (yeah, way back) entry "Stargazing" into November. The theme of the original MiniLD was "Not game", and indeed Stargazing is a bit of a curiosity. You connect stars to make constellations while progressing through a story covering brief moments in the life of a couple. Pocket Gamer kindly wrote a little thing about it! Which was nice.
The game went live on the App Store and Google Play last Thursday. Naturally I must share this news with the community that is the reason the game ever came to be! Let me scatter some links below a screenshot for those who are curious
More info at the game's page on my site: http://paulsburgess.co.uk/stargazing/
My Game Super Sky Hero on Kickstarter!
Please help this game go beyond its potential by backing the project or sharing. Making this game will rely greatly on the outcome of this Kickstarter campaign. I think this is a great community here and thank you for any help. Also any feedback is also greatly appreciated.
Memtiles Kids
Hello Guys!
I finally did it! I released a game!
Going back a little. Last year, I wanted to participate in October Challenge. I had just discovered the goodness of Unity3D and was eager to make a nice little game and market it to the mobile platforms. But, as I started working, classes also started and the game went from and idea to a paper and got left in a drawer.
Some time later ( August this year ), I started to make a whack-a-mole game for my nephews, which they liked ( obviously, because they're kids, and they love to mess with gadgets ). The whack-a-mole game turned out to change its gameplay to a memory game, a tile based memory game. I was working on it, and made a development plan on Trello, so I could really follow it, with deadlines and everything ( which is important to keep the pace going ). So between university, work, and part-time indie development, a month later I had a playable demo and a deadline in mid-september.
After subcontracting friends and unknown guys online, to make me game art and compose music, I had something kinda nice! But i still had to push the release a few weeks, because I couldn't work all the time I wanted per day.. There were days that I would work 16h or more. After all that, in my daily blog surfing, I came to LD and saw that the October Challenge was up, once more! Good news! I was already in the finishing line, so no excuses this time! Last few weeks, were polishing, fixing bugs, polishing, fixing bugs, play testing, gathering feedback.
Finally I was able to submit the game to Google Play 3 days ago! Yay! And I got 2, $0.99 sales! So technically, I'm good for October Challenge, I've made my first dollar. Although I invested more money to be a Android/WP/Apple developer. But now I'm promoting the game so hopefully I'll get my first positive balance in some weeks. I will also be releasing the game for iOS and Windows Phone in the next 3 weeks.
Here's a trailer of the game.
Hope you liked it. I hope you also got to make a game and your first dollar.
Here's a link to Google Play
Please share it with whoever you know, the more the merrier, its hard to get noticed on Google play. Help a indie out 😀
Cheers! 😀
Emergency Landing Disaster
Hey guys, I just wanted to mention my game which I have been working on for the October Challenge 2013. Two weeks ago I was working on a puzzle combat game for android, Tank Tank: The Tankening. The project was going well but it was taking allot of time to develop the large number of levels I needed. So in order to get a product out for the holiday season I decided to switch my focus to a new, smaller game.
Emergency Landing Disaster is my take on mobile flight simulation. Allot of the current flight games on Google Play feature little to no flight realism, and instead use clumsy physics and movement systems. After coming across a new Unity plugin called UnityFS, I was shocked to realize how easily it would be to bring realistic flight to mobile, and how much fun I would have doing it.
My plan is to create 10 crash scenarios and develop a fun and intriguing game for flight enthusiasts and action 3D gamers. It will be a free title, so my monetization method is Admob smartbanner ads which I never show during game-play. I also hope to add Unity Cloud with interstitial ads for the load-screen; whenever the service matures from private beta.
As usual this project is only possible thanks to Unity3D Pro and the Unity Asset Store with its many talented 3d artists. So far, here is what Emergency Landing Disaster looks like:
Ragtime Ruffian: an expansion of Cruel Cruel Dastard for iPad/PC/Mac/Linux
Back in December, I made "Cruel Cruel Dastard" for Ludum Dare 25. Folks seemed to respond positively to the mechanic, so I've spent the past few months making an updated version. The new game, now called "Ragtime Ruffian" was just released today and is available for iPad/PC/Mac/Linux.
The new version includes completely re-done art, new mechanics, 50 designed levels, and the procedurally generated endless mode I originally wanted to implement during the compo. You can get it here if you're interested.
Goat Mechanic for iOS and Android
Earlier in December 2012. I went all out in my first Ludum Dare, 25 themed "You are the villain" which sparked all kinds of ideas… especially sub-themed with a goat. I went for an overhead traffic game where you play as a goat working for a corrupt mechanic, dropping objects into traffic to create accidents to earn more money and unlock new items. It was an amazing experience! I almost panicked near the end of the compo, due to several physics bugs and strange Flash issues. Titled "Goat Mechanic", it earned 15th place.
I have completely redone the entry, adding new items, levels, polish, and pushing it to the Apple App Store and Google Play! Tokens are earned over time and creating accidents eventually unlock more items and levels.
No Time To Stop: Gameplay Video, completing 1st level (Pre-Alpha Version)
Here you can see the video taken from a Pre-Alpha version:
Recommended wacth on full HD to see better all details/effects 😉
The game is still in development and will be released "When it's done" but i hope get finished on 2014 for desktop versions and release the mobile (ios/android) and OUYA in the nexts weeks.
Nedd more info? check this links:
My no entry for LD26, still too slow to coding, next time!
I started to work in "No Time To Stop" near the Ludum Dare 26 and my idea was enter with it but unfortunately no arrived with enough gameplay, still i'm to slow to code :S
At first the game was made using a 16 color palette with a resolution of 120×80 and scaled later to 8x, all very minimalistic, here the first game style.
Now my idea is try to do something more colorfull with shadows/lights and glow but keeping the 8x pixel-art, here a screenshot:
To see the game in movement:
Some info about the game:
Resolution: 960×640
Genre: Arcade/Platformer with some logic/puzzles
Platforms: Win,Mac,Linux – Android/iOS – OUYA and maybe GameStick
Engine: Multimedia Fusion 2
For complete info you can check the official website or if you want to follow the development check the Tigsource Devlog .
And a few days ago the game was uploaded on Greenlight 😉
And well I hope code more fast for the next compo or at least enter some fun-playable!.
Unexpectedly Useless Things
[Cross posted from Omiya Games]
Before I go any further, I wanted to make a quick mention that Omiya Game's (the game studio that currently consists of only me) latest mobile game, Touch Yoga was just published on the Barnes & Noble NOOK HD tablets! Don't have one? It's also available on the iPhones, iPads, iPods, Androids, and even Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablets.
Anyways, I digress. To compliment the unexpectedly useful things list, I now talk about things I thought were going to be useful, but weren't.
Pen & Paper
I expected myself to doodle and draw a lot of pictures. Instead, I leave as the cleanest paper yet.
At least it came with a free Mario figure. And speaking of doodling…
Wacom Tablet
My wacom tablet was left untouched on top of my printer. The latter which was also useless, but that was expected for this event.
No love for the poor guy.
Fossil Wiki
I ended up using the Wiki more than the tablet and the notepad, but only for two things: first, the 30 minute game brainstorming.
And coming up with the game's title
Fun fact: the second best contender for The Sentient Cube title was, indeed, The Artist's Pornography. I decided against it for an obvious reason.
Unity's Pre-installed Scripts
Seriously, I ended up using only 2 scripts in the end product: one for the water refraction, and the edge detecting post-image effect. Everything else? Illegibly coded and completely impractical for the game.
Select S.A. First Impressions
Hello folks, today i'll post a beginning project that I'm working in this last month. They'll call SELECT S.A., and will be a mix of Missile Command… with reverse screen.
Yeah, that's a pretty good definition.
The project born in the Ludum Dare with the theme "You are the villain", and after the event i started the planning, script, test and everything else. In this month I start to code it in AS3 (same code that I used in the LD) and i'm thinking about make this game in Unity because he doen't work fluently in old android phone.
Alright, that's not a excuse if the game needs power of processing… but the fact is: the game doesn't need too many power.
I just think to make this changes after i see the game Gunslugs work very smoothly in my smartphone (an Xperia X10 from 2009). If they make all of the game so nicelly, I have to make some at least similar in my game too, but the fact is: it will be a spend of time. So, I'll finish this one in as3, and the next ones in UNity or other mobile languages.
Here i'll let some images of the game until now.
Egypt Wizard now available in the stores!
Egypt Wizard is now available in the following apps markets:
* Apple AppStore
* BlackBerry AppWorld
* Google Play [Android Market]
here you can find a resume of the development process.

Inigo Jones: The Architect of Kings (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art the Paul Mello)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Andrea Palladio (15081580), one of the most famous architects of all time, published two enormously popular guides to the churches and antiquities of Rome in 1554. Striving to be both scholarly and popular, Palladio invited his Renaissance readers to discover the charm of Romes ancient and medieval wonders, and to follow pilgrimage routes leading from one church to the next. He also described ancient Roman rituals of birth, marriage, and death. Here translated into English and joined in a single volume for the first time, Palladios guidebooks allow modern visitors to enjoy Rome exactly as their predecessors did 450 years ago.
Like the originals, this new edition is pocket-sized and therefore easily read on site. Enhanced with illustrations and commentary, the book also includes the first full English translation of Raphaels famous letter to Pope Leo X on the monuments of ancient Rome. For architectural historians, tourists, and armchair travelers, this book offers fresh and surprising insights into the antiquarian and ecclesiastical preoccupations of one of the greatest of the Renaissance architectural masters.
Inigo Jones (1573-1652) is widely acknowledged to have been England's most important architect. As court designer to the Stuart kings James I and Charles I, he is credited with introducing the classical language of architecture to the country. He famously traveled to Italy and studied firsthand the buildings of the Italian masters, particularly admiring those by Andrea Palladio.and#160;
Much less well known is the profound influence of native British arts and crafts on Jones's architecture. Likewise, his hostility to the more opulent forms of Italian architecture he saw on his travels has largely gone unnoted. This book examines both of these overlooked issues. Vaughan Hart identifies well-established links between the classical column and the crown prior to Jones, in early Stuart masques, processions, heraldry, paintings, and poems. He goes on to discuss Jones's preference for a "masculine and unaffected" architecture, demonstrating that this plain style was consistent with the Puritan artistic sensitivities of Stuart England. For the first time, the work of Inigo Jones is understood in its national religious and political context.
The diverse works of architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (?16611736) ranged from small architectural details to ambitious urban plans, from new parish churches to work on the monument of his age, St. Pauls Cathedral. As a young man Hawksmoor assisted Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh, emerging from these formidable apprenticeships to design some of the most vigorous and dramatic buildings in England. In this engaging book, architectural historian Vaughan Hart presents a fresh view of Hawksmoors built and planned work. In addition, Hart offers the first coherent explanation of Hawksmoors theory of architecture.
The book explains why Hawksmoors buildings look the way they do, what contemporary events influenced his work, and how such ancient buildings as Solomons temple and Mausoluss tomb inspired him. Underscoring the unique qualities of the architects accomplishments and aspirations, Hart establishes with new clarity Hawksmoors vital role in the development of English architecture.
